2. Our knowledge of chair conformations allows us to use them to determine a great deal abouta reaction's mechanism. In particular, using a t-butyl group to 'fix' a cyclohexane in a singleconformation can help us learn about the spatial requirements and energetics of a reaction.Consider the following two reaction products:CN1) NaCN2) H+OH1) NaBH42) H3O+OHGroup-H-CNA Value (kcal/mol)Defined as 00.2 kcal/mol-OH1.0 kcal/molc. For any products that do have the most stable conformation, does our understanding ofthe mechanism allow for ‘thermodynamic control'?d. If one of the products is not the most stable, can you explain the observed product basedon ‘kinetic control'? (Does the most easily formed transition state result in the observedproduct?) Consider the chair-like conformation of the starting material.

The objective of this question is to analyze the given reaction products and determine whether…

Alcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.
